Plan Project Stakeholder Involvement

Plan ProjectPlan Project Stakeholder Involvement

Description

Based on the list of required stakeholders, the proposed project scope, and any project estimates or schedule, plan the involvement of each stakeholder. Are they needed at the beginning of the iteration, at the end, throughout, or only on specific days or following specific events? What is their level of involvement? Is it full time, part-time, or only for a few meetings? Are they responsible or accountable for work, or merely consulted or informed? Answer these questions and document the required involvement for each stakeholder.

Is RequiredYes

Steps

  1. Determine When a Stakeholder is Needed:

    Identify approximately when each stakeholder is needed throughout the project and in which iterations they will be involved.
  2. Determine the Degree of Involvement:

    Estimate the degree of involvement.

    Is the stakeholder being held accountable for one or more work items?

    Are they responsible for doing the work?

    Does this require full time effort or merely part-time?

    Are they only consulted or informed?

    Will they be required to be on-call or available for meetings?

    Are they expected to read documents and provide feedback? If so how much, how often, and in what depth?

    Are they critical to the flow of work? Does failure to meet their commitments as a stakeholder put the project commitments at risk? If so, then this should be added as a risk for management.
  3. Publish Stakeholder Involvement Plan:

    Publish the required level of involvement for all the stakeholders to the project portal.
